The Billionaire's Contract
(2026)(The first book in the Legacy Circle series)
A novel by Quinn Shepard
Fifty thousand dollars to pretend she's his.
Emma Jensen's life is a disaster — student debt, a dead-end job, and a mother who treats every single man in Manhattan like a potential son-in-law. So when the coldest CEO on Wall Street offers her fifty grand to play his girlfriend for six months, she doesn't think twice.
Clear boundaries. No feelings. Just business.
Alexander Cross doesn't do messy. He does mergers, acquisitions, and control. But his mother's matchmaking has become a liability, and Emma — with her sharp mouth and refusal to be intimidated by him — is the perfect solution.
Except Emma wasn't supposed to make him laugh at 2 a.m. She wasn't supposed to see through every wall he's built. And she definitely wasn't supposed to make his ex-fiancée desperate enough to destroy everything.
Now Alexander has to choose: protect the secrets that keep his empire intact, or fight for the woman who was never supposed to matter.
The Billionaire's Contract is a steamy fake dating romance featuring a cold billionaire CEO, a heroine who won't back down, and a group chat of meddling friends who see everything. Book One in The Legacy Circle series. Each book follows a different billionaire finding love. Standalone HEA guaranteed.
Genre: Romance
